Megashot - Take better screenshots

[Masterlegodude]

For those that can't see the diffrence, look at the left side of his hat then look at the Megashot photo in the exact same place

Actually, the difference is that if you have a monitor with 1024x768 resolution, you can't put Blockland at a higher resolution than that, so the Megashot, once you set the value for it, you can take DOF Screenshots bigger than your monitor

If I use scale factor 4, ACDSee says "The source data format is recognized." Blockland does take the screenshot successfully and the file is created, but it's 0 KB.

Same with me.

Am I the only one who sees no difference between the two pictures?

There is no difference, when using a Megashot, it can take DOF screenshots bigger than your monitor/resolution set for Blockland

Syntax error

I loving copy and pasted it into the console and still got a syntax error

The difference is that the picture with 8x looks alot SMOOTHER and less PIXELY. For instance, the big problem with MS paint is that it can't make lines that aren't pixely because it just simply sucks. If you were to use that on your MS paint, it would look much less crap because it's not as pixely. So that's the whole thing in a nutshell, and if you can't understand this, well...that's just too bad.

The difference in the pictures is that the pixels on the sides are not jagged on the megashot. Compare the side of the hat on both pictures and you will see that the mega shot is smoother than the DOF screenshot.

Now I can use scale factor 4 but any larger than that will produce the same error in ACDSee. Although now the files are larger than 0 KB but ACDSee still says "The source data format is recognized." I have also tried IrfanView, photoshop, Paint and others but with no luck. Blockland does take the screenshot successfully.

Now, here's a proper comparison for the people who still haven't realized what megashot does. All the screenshots were taken with Blockland resolution 1280x720. Below are the screenshot comparisons that I have resized down to 800x600.

Original resolution 1280x720.


Original resolution 2048x1536. Megashot scale factor 2.


Original resolution 4096x3072. Megashot scale factor 4.


The difference is quite hard to see with naked eye. But let me make it so obvious that anyone can understand it. Here I have taken the original screenshots, not resized down to 800x600, and simply resized the canvas of the image down to 300x300 pixels. That means the rest of the image is cropped off and a 300x300 pixel area of the center of the image is left.

Original resolution 1280x720.


Original resolution 2048x1536. Megashot scale factor 2.


Original resolution 4096x3072. Megashot scale factor 4.


As you can see, the tree near the center of the image gets bigger the larger the Megashot scale factor is, because the screenshot itself that you take with Megashot is bigger.

Here are the original screenshots.
